Early images of Subnautica 3 released

On a serious note - once you've played the original game I think it is very hard for any subsequent game to recapture that experience or provide as immersive new experience of that type.

The first game really was a masterpiece, one of the best of the genre, for me it had an immersion factor which happened twice. Once when I played the game normally and a second wow factor when I played it in VR, VR subnautica was brilliant..the sense of depth in VR was amazing. Playing it in VR , being 100m below the surface REALLY felt like you were 100m below the surface when you looked up or down
 
Got my hopes up :(

Have they improved the VR at all? I do remember the controls being not great i.e. you had to use M&KB still

Depends on the VR set you use, I think the Rift still needs M&K for example but on my quest 2 I can use the quest's controllers fine

EDIT : also...on a serious note...Subnautica 3 has been confirmed as being in development and will include native multiplayer support apparently :)

Nice - I only tried it on the Rift, but I have a Q2 now, so might have to give it another go :)

Awesome - pretty sure the last thing I read about the devs was they were working on a new game from a different IP, so that's excellent news :)
 
Godammit. Clickbait title ahoy!

Subnautica is just unmatched compared to its follow up title. It was, in my mind one of the first titles to do Early access properly and deliver a great alpha experience.

I really need to return to it with a few mods.

Best played with a xbox/joypad still. There's an essential mod that tidy's up the UI and inventory, making it less in your face. Below Zero was converted to VR, apparently the mod team did a better job of it.

Game freaks me out anyway, i can no longer play the game beyond swimming in the shallows. Soon as i unexpectedly met the reaper in VR, everything nasty looking or dark and deep, genuinely has me scared ********.

It's the only game in VR that has had that effect.

Have you tries Alien Isolation? only game that as was too scary for me in VR.
 
Probably should have been posted in GD or an actual subnautica thread
The joke would have been lost in GD and as its a gaming joke sticking it in the PC Games section made more sense, equally I didnt want to put it in a Subnautica thread as it was a joke not something about Subnautica itself

Sure. The thing with alien though is you can avoid and sidestep the nasty, sub has you claustrophobically locked in with menacing elements all around you. Two prevalent phobias in my life are reptiles and claustro, so probably why i'm so adverse after the fright.

Don't get me wrong, the first time the alien spiked through me was a nope moment, one that i wimped out with eyes shut. The suspense in the game is what makes it, absolute killer VR app.

Grounded is giving me similar vibes and at some aspects it's superior.
